Give Explorer a New Title

Warning: This tip is only for the most advanced users. Tweaking the Registry is very risky. Always back up the Registry before you
make any changes. To change Explorer's title bar to say anything you want, run the Registry Editor by typing REGEDIT in the Run command box from your Start menu. Once in the Registry, navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main directory. Once in the directory, from the menu select Edit, New, String Value and name the new item Window Title. Next, double-click the Window Title icon and enter Explorer's new name according to your choosing. For every version of Explorer since 4.0, this will change the name of the browser located in the title bar. If you would like to undo this and go back to the generic Microsoft Internet Explorer name, follow the steps to go to the registry and delete the new string that you entered. Top
